There is no beating up. v4 is dead, move on. Building a business plan on anything else today is going to fail. Except in some walled gardens where address hoarding has taken place. Like $dayjob, which has a /16 v4 for 4K employees and still has v6 in the backbone and transit and several peers and if not all so at least several end-user networks dual-stacked. All it took was 1. Require v6 support (and at least passable feature parity) in devices. As long as you're doing POS and Ethernet, a no-brainer. Any vendor worth considering will be able to deliver. 2. Require v6 from transit providers and external peers. Completely painless. Got bucketloads of offers at last transit call for tender. All v6-enabled. 3. Extend the enterprise provisioning system^H^H^HH^W^W^W ugly script hack that does router configs to do hex math as well. Took all of a week including adress planning and test deployments. Bonus: The Other Desktop Operating System With The Large Market Share gets extremely happy if it has v6 to play with. > because so far, IPv6 deployment is an abysmal failure.
